HISTORY |
||
|
In 1904 with a $10,000 Andrew Carnegie Grant, a public library was built on the corner of Fourth and Jefferson. That building served Redwood Falls' Library needs for ninety-one years. Following the construction of the new library, the old building was sold to a law firm. In 1989 the library commission authorized a community needs study and initiated the planning processes. In 1994 the community accepted a donor's challenge to match a $500,000 donation. The recognition wall records the community response and teh accomplishment of the building a 1.8 million dollar library without tax dollars. Ground breaking began in May of 1995; the building was completed in December 1995; library services in the new facility began on January 23, 1996. |
